“[By applying] this measure we are clearly separating the areas for smokers and non-smokers, reducing the conflicts resulting from the law’s implementation,” the Health Bureau said in a statement.

Over the first four months of this year, 95,265 inspections were conducted. Fines were applied to 2,846 people over smoking in prohibited areas.
Furthermore, the Health Bureau has revealed that the majority of these offenders (1,863) are Macau residents. 884 fines were issued to tourists, whilst non-resident workers committed99 breaches of the law in question.
Finally, data provided by the Bureau shows that since the law entered into force, authorities have overseen the supervision of a total of 510,420 premises, and have recorded 19,179 cases in which the law was breached.
